Burt Reynolds brings his Master Class to Lyric Theatre

Stuart, Fl: Martin County residents are in for a treat when mega star Burt Reynolds brings his master acting class to the stage at the Lyric Theatre in downtown Stuart. Having filled the Lyric to capacity during his recent one man show, Reynolds returns on December 2^nd at 7 pm to preview the “Acting for the Camera” course he will teach at the Lyric’s Flagler Center after the first of the year.  

Martin County actors will be afforded the same opportunity that Palm Beach County actors attending the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and Theatre (BRIFT) in Jupiter have enjoyed for years – the benefit of Mr. Reynolds vast experience in the entertainment industry. December 2^nd will be a once in a lifetime chance to see Burt Reynolds direct his Master Class actors in selected scenes from well-known plays. Actors wishing to take “Acting for the Camera” will get a preview of course curriculum, and those who merely dream of acting will have an opportunity to witness the process up close and personal.

Audience members will be able to “audit” the class. Auditing will allow those in attendance to ask questions of Mr. Reynolds in order to better understand why a student is directed in a particular manner. Prior to the performance, Master Class actors will be in the lobby to answer questions as well. BRIFT staff members will be on hand with registration forms for those interested in auditioning for the new class.

Burt Reynolds is a talented actor, an articulate story teller, an insightful director and a consummate professional. His love for the arts is obvious in all he does. One has only to watch him guide his students on stage to recognize the respect and admiration they have for their teacher. On December 2^nd actors and non-actors alike will be given a chance to witness raw talent being molded and refined by the master himself.

The Lyric Theatre is located at 59 SW Flagler Avenue, Stuart, Florida. For ticket information, please call the Lyric Theatre box office at 772-286-7827.
